wemsoi 55 Posted June 9, 2021 Hey guys, recently got myself an xg ute and looking to upgrade the 12 slotters that are on there. The wheels im looking at are 7x14 3.5 inch bs with a 225 tyre and 14x9 4 inch bs with a 265 tyre. Will these fit (its standard height atm but will be lowering it later on). Cheers Cam 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers CamHey mate, 225 in 14 on front, no worries.Rears should take a 265, but just depends what offset the rims are.I run 15" on my XG with 215 all the way round.Sent from my S21 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im just a little worried the wheels might stick out to far. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outback Jack 6,352 Posted June 10, 2021 Offset would be -25 for the rear on a 9 inch rim. Im just a little worried the wheels might stick out to far.I run 7" rims all the way round.I could see the rear taking 9" fairly easy, limited by the leafspring and the inner guard lip. That offset is the key, I'm sure one of the guys here will be able to help you further with Wheels and Tyres.Biggest I've heard of on an untubbed XF/XG with leafsprings was around 275-85?I know 265 will fit.It's that offset that's important with fatties.I got 7" rims with All Terrain 4x4 tyres on it, but I live out in the country.Post up some pics of your XG and if the 12 slotters are in good nick, hold onto them. Old blokes like me love them.Sent from my S21 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,918 Posted June 10, 2021 I had 14 x 8 with 265 60 14 on the back of my XG. They fit fine. I now have 15 x 8 with 275 60? 15 with 4.5" BS. They fit fine but rub when there is a load in the tray. Best fix for this is not to put anything in the tray! 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted June 10, 2021 I'm about to bolt on a set of 16x8 -10 with 235 60s on the back, very confident that everything will clear, will post results. Also, 16x8 +10 on the front comes very close to the ball joint so will also post results.Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 2 Outback Jack and wemsoi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
